in charge of the city scales at Jones

man be appointed at once because of
the inconvenience it caused them to
have to drive all their loads up town,

He to turn in all receipts f' om said
scales. John Mahoney has' been on

Whereas, said rain storm caused ter-
rific volumes of water to flow 'In terri-
ble force from the hills and ravings

proved and unimproved streets, ave-
nues, alleys and sewers to be torn up
and destroyed, great ditches 'being
washed in macadam streets, thereby
rendering said strets impassable for
traffic and dangerous for public use;
and

streets and sewers be repaired at once
in order to avoid many actions for
damages and also to make said streets
passable by the public; and

the City of Dubuque are inadequate to
make the necessary repairs and to pay
the expense of putting such streets
and sewers in proper condition; and

measure, designed to remedy a condi-
tion which was unforeseen and could
not be anticipated;

buque, in order to pay the expense of

leys and sewers of the city without de-
lay, the committee on finance, togeth-

loan they are granted the authority
hereby to pledge the credit of the city,

by the Assessor, Auditor or Treas-
urer it shall be the duty of the own-
er thereof, by himself or agent, to
have said property assessed by the
Treasurer and pay the taxes there-
on, and no failure of the owner to
have such property assessed or any
error in an assessment correct, and
no irregularity, error or omission in
the assessment of such property,
shall affect in any manner the le-
gality of the taxes levied thereon.
439. —SHALL GIVE RECEIPT.
Sec. 16. When any taxes are paid,
the Treasurer shall, in all cases,
make out and deliver to the tax
payer, a receipt, stating the time
of payment, the description and as-
sessed valuation of each lot or par-
cel of land and the assessed valua-
tion of personal property, the
amount of each kind of tax, the
amount of interest and costs, if any.
He shall give a separate receipt for
each year, and shall make the prop-
er entries of such payments on the
books of his office. Such receipt
shall be conclusive evidence of the
full payment of the tax for that
year, but the Treasurer shall have
the right to receive the full amount
of any tax, for any previous year,
whenever the same is tendered, and
give a separate receipt therefor, but
such a receipt shall not operate as
a cancellation of any tax for any
subsequent year. City warrants may
be received, by the Treasurer, in
full payment of all taxes for cur-
rent City expenses, but money only
shall be received for the taxes lev-
ied for the purpose of payirig the
debts of the City. The Treasurer
shall, when any person offers to
pay taxes on any real estate marked
"sold" notify such persons that such
property has been sold for taxes,
and inform him for what taxes said
property was sold, and at what time
said sale was affected, and refer
him to the Auditor for the amount
thereof.
440.— ERRORS IN TAXES PAID.
Sec. 17. When the tax or any part
thereof on any property is cancelled
or remitted by the Council, for good
cause shown, after the tax book is
delivered to the Treasurer, the Re-
corder shall notify the Treasurer in
writing, giving the name of the own-
er and the description of the prop-
erty and the Treasurer shall there-
upon notify the Auditor of the same,
and the Auditor shall thereupon
give the Treasurer credit for the
amount of tax collected. Whenever
it is found that any tax has been
erroneously or illegally exacted or
paid, the Council shall direct the
Treasurer to refund, to the tax pay-
er, such tax or portion thereof and
all interest and costs actually paid
thereon, which payment shall be
made from the expense fund. In
cases where real property, subject
to taxation, sjaall have been sold for
the payment for the erroneous
amount of tax interest or costs, the
error in the fax may, at any time
be corrected, but this correction
shall not affect the validity of the
sale, or the right or title conveyed
by the Treasurer's Deed, if the prop-
erty was subject to taxation for any
part of the taxes for which the land
was ,sold, and the taxes had not
been paid before the sale, and the
property had not been rededmed
from the sale.
441. —TAXES SHALL BE LIEN.
Sec. 18. Taxes upon real property
shall be and constitute a lien there-
on, and taxes due from any person
upon personal property shall be a
25o Special Session, July 21st, 1919
or parcels of real estate remaining
unsold, in the manner above pro-
vided. Further adjournments may
be made from time to time of not
more than two months for each ad-
journment, and the sale thus con-
tinued until all of the property is
sold or taxes are paid.
446. -CITY MAY PURCHASE AT
TAX SALE. Sec. 23. That when-
ever any property is advertised for
sale for delinquent special assess•
ment the City shall have the right,
through its attorney, to buy in any
such property so advertised at any
such tax sale, as he deems advisable,
providing, however, that any other
purchaser shall be given a prefer-
ence at such sale as against the
City. Whenever property is adver-
tised for sale for delinquent special
assessment and improvement bonds
have been issued as provided by
law and such bonds are redeemable
out of the fund which is created by
the payment of special assessments
which have been levied against prop-
erty subject to assessment, and in
default of the payment of such as-
sessments by the property owners
it becomes the duty of the City to
redeem such bonds out of its own
funds, then the City in becoming
the purchaser at any tax sale shall
have the right to have a certificate
of sale issued to it and all that is
required to be done to make such
purchase complete is that the Treas-
urer indicate upon his records where
such assessment is found that the
City bid in such property, the
amount of the tax, together with
interest and penalty for which the
sale was made, and the City shall
thereupon assume the liability of
paying the bonds which are out-
standing and covered by the assess-
ments upon this property, providing,
however, that the owner of such
property may redeem the same as
provided by law.
The purpose of this section is to
relieve the amity from paying from
the general fund any money where
the assessment is covered by a
bond. The securing of a tax deed
and paying of subseqquent taxes
shall be as provided for in Section
53 thereof.
447.- AUDITOR SHALL KEEP
RECORD OF SALES. Sec. 24. The
Auditor shall keep a record in a
book, kept by him for that purpose
of all lots or parcels of real estate
contained in the proof of publica-
tion of the notice of sale, filed in
his office, and when the taxes on
any of such lots or parcels of real
estate are paid before the time of
sale, he shall enter the same in
such book, showing that such taxes,
interest and costs have been paid.
He shall also keep a record in such
book of all lots or parcels of real
estate sold by the Treasurer and
shall make an entry for each de-
scription of real estate, showing the
date when the same was sold, the
person to whom sold and the amount
of tax, interest and costs for which
such lot or parcel was sold, and the
date of payment by the purchaser
The Treasurer shall keep a book
in which he shall keep a record of
all tax sales in the same manner.
If because of the neglect or failure
of any officer to perform any of his
duties in regard to the assessment
or levy of taxes or other good cause,
real estate cannot be advertised and
offered for sale by the Treasurer on
the first Monday pf December in any
year the Treasurer may hold such
sale on the first Monday in the next
succeeding month in which the re-
quired notice can be given.
448.- DELINQUENT PERSONAL
Tr,X. Sec. 25. The Treasurer shall
collect delinquent personal property
taxes, by the sale of any of the
property upon which such taxes are
levied, or any other personal prop-
erty upon which such taxes are
levied, or any other personal prop-
erty of the person. firm or corpora-
tion, against whom such taxes are
assessed, and he is required to take
the same by distress and hold the
same, unless exempt from taxation,
and the tax list shall be sufficient
warrant for such distress.
449. -HOW 'SALE SHALL BE
CONDUCTED. Sec. 26. When the
Treasurer distrains goods he may
keep them at the expense of the
owner, and shall give notice of the
time and place of sale within five
days after *..he taking, in the man-
ner constables are required to give
notice oi; sale of personal property
under execution. The time of the
sale shall not be more than twenty
days from the day of taking, but he
may adjourn the sale from time to
time, not exceeding five days in
all, and shall adjourn at least once,
when there are no bidders, and, in
case of adjournment, he shall post
a notice thereof, at the place of
sale, announcing the time to which
the adjournment is ordered. At the
time named for the sale, the Treas-
urer shall proceed to sell the same
to the highest bidder, unless the
owner shall give a sufficient bond
for the delivery of the same before
such time, and any surplus, remain-
ing after the taxes, charges of keep-
ing, and fees and expenses of sale
are paid, shall be paid to the own-
er and the Treasurer shall, on de-
mand, render an account in writ-
ing of the amount received from
the ' sale and the amount deducted
therefrom.
450.- TREASURER MAY ASK
ASSISTANCE. Sec. 27. If any per-
son shall resist the Treasurer in
the seizure of personal property by
distress, he may require any per-
son to assist him in the perform-
ance of his duties, and if any per-
son, when requested, shall refuse
to aid him, such person shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.
451.- TREASURER MAY SUE
FOR PERSONAL TAXES. Sec. 28.
In addition to all proceedings for
the collection of taxes on personal
property, herein provided for, the
Treasurer may bring a suit at law
against any person, firm or corpora-
tion who shall fail to pay taxes as-
sessed against personal property be-
longing to him,or it, when due, and
prosecute the same in his name, as

law, in any court of competent jur-
isdiction. •

LECTORS. Sec. 29. The Treasurer
may appoint one or more persons
as collectors, to assist in the col-
lection of delinquent personal prop-
erty taxes, who shall receive as
compensation 6 per cent of the
amount of the taxes collected and
paid by him into the treasury, which
5 per cent he shall collect from the
person, firm or corporation, paying
the tax, togetner with the whole
amount of delinquent taxes and pen-
alty. The Council may authorize
the appointment by the Treasurer
of one or more persons, to collect,
such delinquent personal property
taxes as it may designate, and in
such case the collectors so appoint-
ed shall receive as compensation,
not to exceed 10 per cent of the
amount collected, which sum shall
not be paid or allowed until all of
the taxes collected have been paid
over to the Treasurer, by such col-
lector, and the amount allowed, as
such compensation, shall be deduct-
ed from the taxes collected by such

PROCLAMATION
Dubuque is facing a situation never equalled in her history.
The streets of the city are littered with debris. It is impossible
to secure a force of men large enough to clear them at once.
Valuable property is in danger of fire, and apparatus cannot tra-
vel the streets. Something must be done at once. As Mayor of
the City of Dubuque I would therefore respectfully request every
citizen of the city to be present at a meeting at the Commercial
Club at 8 :oo o'clock to -night to adopt ways and means of meet-
ing the emergency.

Council as thus corrected and equal-
ized. The Assessor shall read the

Board of Equalization, the Clerk
of the Board shall give immediate
notice thereof, to such person, firm

PROPERTY. Sec. 13. The Treas-
urer shall assess any property sub-
ject to taxation which may have

of Equalization, or Auditor, and col-
lect taxes thereon, but in such cases
he is required to note opposite such
assessment the words "By Treasur-

ing on the first day of January, that
he is nrepared to receive taxes. No
demand for taxes shall be neces-
sary, and it shall be the duty of
every person, firm or corporation
subject to taxation, to attend at the
office of the Treasurer, at some
time between the first Monday in
January and the first day of March
following and pay his or its taxes
in full. All taxes upon real and
personal property shall become de-
linquent after March 1st provided,
however, that if taxes are paid in
full on or before the first day of
April following no interest or pen-
alty shall be charged such delin-
quent. On the other hand, if taxes
are not paid in full on or before
April first, then such taxes shall
be considered delinquent from
Larch 1st and shall be charged
with interest and penalty as here-
inafter provided. Whenever any
taxes have become delinquent, the
Treasurer shall collect, in addition
to the taxes levied, interest as a
penalty, for nonpayment, of 10 per
cent per annum on the whole
amount thereof, including interest
already accrued and the Treasurer
is authorized to continue to receive
taxes after they become delinquent,
until collected by distress and sale,

OMITTED TAXES. Sec. 15. In all
cases where real property subject
to taxation have not been assessed
by the Assessor, Auditor or Treas-
urer it shall be the duty of the own-
er thereof, by himself or agent, to
have said property assessed by the
Treasurer and pay the taxes there-
on, and no failure of the owner to
have such property assessed or any
error in an assessment correct, and
no irregularity, error or omission in
the assessment of such property,
shall affect in any manner the le-
gality of the taxes levied thereon.

sessed valuation of each lot or par-
cel of land and the assessed valua-
tion of personal property, the
amount of each kind of tax, the
amount of interest and costs, if any.
He shall give a separate receipt for
each year, and shall make the prop-
er entries of such payments on the
books of his office. Such receipt
shall be .conclusive evidence of the
full payment of the tax for that
year, but the Treasurer shall have
the right to receive the full amount
of any tax, for any previous year,
whenever the same is tendered, and
give a separate receipt therefor, but
such a receipt shall not operate as
a cancellation of any tax for any
subsequent year. City warrants may
be received by the Treasurer, in
full payment of all taxes for cur-
rent City expenses, but money only
shall be received for the taxes lev-
ied for the purpose of paying the
debts of the City The Treasurer
shall, when any person offers to
pay taxes on any real estate marked

him to the Auditor for the amount
thereof.

cause shown, after the tax book is
delivered to the Treasurer, the Re-
corder shall notify the Treasurer in
writing, giving the name of the own-
er and the description of the prop-
erty and the mreasurer shall there-
upon notify the Auditor of the same,
and the Auditor shall thereupon
give the Treasurer credit for the
amount of tax_collected. Whenever
it is found that any tax has been
erroneously or illegally exacted or
paid, the Council shall direct the
Treasurer to refund, to the tax pay-
er, such tax or portion thereof and
all interest and costs actually paid
thereon, which payment shall be
made from the expense fund. In
cases where real property, subject
to taxation, shall have been sold for
the payment for the erroneous
amount of tax- interest or costs, the
error in the tax may, at any time
be corrected, but this correction
shall not affect the validity of the
sale, or the right or title conveyed
by the Treasurer's Deed, if the prop-
erty was subject to taxation for any
part of the taxes for which the land
was sold, and the taxes had not
been paid before the sale, and the
property had not been redeemed
from the sale.

fixed by the adojurnment, the Treas-
urer shall proceed to sell all lots
or parcels of real estate remaining
unsold, in the manner above pro-
vided. Further adjournments may
be made from time to time. of not
more than two months for each ad-
journment, and the sale thus con-

TAX SALE. Sec. 23. That when-
ever any property is advertised for
sale for delinquent special assess•
ment the City shall have the right,
through its attorney, to buy in any
such property so advertised at any
such tax sale, as he deems advisable,
providing, however, that any other
purchaser shall be given a prefer-
ence at such sale as against the
City. Whenever property is adver-
tised for sale for delinquent special
assessment and improvement bonds
have been issued as provided by
law and such bonds are redeemable
out of the fund which is created by
the payment of special assessments
which have been levied against prop-
erty subject to assessment, and in
default of the payment of such as-
sessments by the property owners
it becomes the duty of the City to
redeem such bonds out of its own
funds. then the City in becoming
the purchaser at any tax sale shall
have the right to have a certificate
of sale issued to it and all that is
required to be done to make such
Turchase complete is that the Treas-
urer indicate upon his records where
such assessment is found that the
City bid in such property, the
amount of the tax, together with
interest and penalty for which the
sale was made, and the City shall
thereupon assume the liability of
paying the bonds which are out-
standing and covered by the assess-
ments upon this property, providing,
however, that the owner of such
property may redeem the same as
provided by law.
The purpose of this section is to
relieve the ity from paying from
the general fund any money where
the assessment is covered by a
bond. The securing of a tax deed
and paying of subseqquent taxes
shall be as provided for in Section
53 thereof.
447.— AUDITOR SHALL KEEP
RECORD OF SALES. Sec. 24. The
Auditor shall keep a record. in a
book, kept by him for that purpose
of all lots or parcels of real estate
contained in the proof of publica-
tion of the notice of sale, filed in
his office, and when the taxes on
any of such lots or parcels of real
estate are paid before the time of
sale, he shall enter the same in
such book, showing that such taxes,
interest anu costs have been paid.
He shall also keep a record in such
book of all lots or parcels of real
estate sold by the Treasurer and
shall make an entry for each de-
scription of real estate, showing the
date when the same was sold, the
person to whom sold and the amount
of tax, interest and costs for which
such lot or parcel was sold, and the
date of payment by the purchaser:
The Treasurer shall keep a book
in which he shall keep a record of
all tax sales in the same manner.
If because of the neglect or failure
of any officer to perform any of his
duties in regard to the assessment
or levy of taxes or other good cause,
real estate cannot be advertised and
offered for sale by the Treasurer on
the first Monday of December in any
year the Treasurer may hold such
sale on the first Monday in the next
succeeding month in which the re-
quired notice can be given.
448.— DELINQUENT PERSONAL
TAX. Sec. 25. The Treasurer shall
collect delinquent personal property
taxes, by the sale of any of the
property upon which such taxes are
levied, or any other personal prop-
erty upon which such taxes are
levied, or any other personal prop-
erty of the person_ firm or corpora-
tion, against whom such taxes are
assessed, and he is required to take
the same by distress and hold the
same, unless exempt from taxation,
and the tax list shall be sufficient
warrant for such distress.
449. —HOW aaLE SHALL BE
CONDUCTED. Sec. 26. When the
Treasurer distrains goods he may
keep them at the expense of the
owner, and shall give notice of the
time and place of sale within five
days after the taking, in the man-
ner constables are required to give
notice of' sale of personal property
under execution. The time of the
sale shall not be more than twenty
days from the day of taking, but he
may adjourn the sale from time to
time, not exceeding five days in
all, and shall adjourn at least once,
when there are no bidders, and, in
case of adjournment, he shall post
a notice thereof, at the place of
sale, announcing the time to which
the adjournment is ordered. At the
time named for the sale, the Treas-
urer shall proceed to sell the same
to the highest bidder. unless the

for the delivery of the same before
such time, and any surplus, remain-
ing after the taxes, charges of keep-
ing, and tees and expenses of sale
are paid, shall be paid to the own-
er and the Treasurer shall, on de-
mand, render an account in writ.
ing of the amount received from
the sale and the amount deducted
therefrom.

ASSISTANCE. Sec. 27. If any per-
son shall resist the Treasurer in
the seizure of personal property by
distress, he may require any per-

guilty of a misdemeanor.
